Club Notes - 17th January

Jack The Joker

Our ever popular Jack the Joker fundraiser continues this Sunday night
in Alice O’Connor’s Bar where the jackpot is €7000 as on Sunday night Jonathan
O’Donovan was drawn out of the drum and chose card number 38 which when turned
was not the joker but he did win €50. Peggy Walsh and Liam Enright won €25
each. As well as our group of ticket sellers tickets can be purchased from Village
Flowers, Spar, Mousies Takeaway, Minnies Bar, Abbeyside Post Office and Crotty’s
Bar.

Under 21 Hurling

Our under 21 hurlers travelled to Dunhill on Sunday last to take on De La
Salle in the 2017 County Final. Conditions on the day were far from ideal for
hurling but credit to both teams they served up a very entertaining game. Our
opponents struck for an early goal and held the advantage at the break. As the
second half progressed De La Salle extended their lead but great credit to our
team they refused to give in and a goal from a penalty put the game right back
into the melting pot with time almost up. Unfortunately we couldn’t find the
scores to secure a draw and it was our opponents who hit the final score to run
out winners by 4 points.

We would like to thank the players and management team involved with the
lads for all their commitment during what was a very long playing season for
them.

On Friday night last the 2017 Waterford County Board Awards night took
place in Lawlors Hotel where Aaron Beresford was nominated for Underage
Footballer of the Year. Unfortunately
Aaron wasn’t successful in winning the award but we congratulate him on being
nominated for this prestigious award.

Booking of Pitches

As our teams begin returning to
training we would like to remind all our coaches to please ensure that they
book the pitches with Michael Donovan before training.

Club Bingo

Our club bingo session continues in the CBS Hall this Friday night with
a jackpot of €1500.
